Electronics and Sensor
Disconnect all power from the analyzer before starting these
procedures.
Touching any part of the analyzer head, Source, or Mass Filter
with your fingers will leave dirt and oil on the parts resulting in
contamination of the head. Use clean plastic/latex gloves when
handling components.
Before connecting the 24 VDC power to the electronics, ensure
that the electronics are connected to the sensor. Otherwise, damage
to the electronics may occur.
Always remove 24 VDC power from the AMETEK electronics
before removing the electronics from the sensor.
